No, not to stand in the way, but to divert, show a choice. Or perhaps even create a new, different, sustainable and beautiful path.
A path that does not require batteries, fittings, audiologists or therapy. A path of acceptance, growth and an indescribably complex and joyous language. Along this path is education, friendship and acknowledgement. Acknowlegement of personal worth and independence, not you will be only better this way - just let me stick this in your ear...
You know, like a real leader who walks beside and helps friend to friend and not the great Patronizing Patriarchal Bwanah saving the "poor deaf folks"?
You are perfectly good the way you are kind of trail blazing or diversity offers a choice, informs, grants the person intelligence and personal responsibility.
Choices. Diversity. Acceptance. Love. Nothing wrong there.
(Sadly this Seimens corp reminds me of other large corporations, create a need (for batteries at first), build a market, start them young) Hmm, sort of like the tobacco industry? No, not to that degree or with harm, but can you see the intended analogy? Very few corporations can prosper upon the principles of agape.
Great post LDNanna!
